Laser Irradiation of Gold: Fundamentals and Applications SLA Workshop

The workshop on Laser irradiation of gold: fundamentals and applications was held in the HiLASE Centre in June. The workshop was organised by the department of Scientific Laser Applications and hosted five HiLASE speakers: Nathan Goodfriend, Sergei Lisunov, Krystof Hlinomaz, Thibault Derrien and Oleksandr Gatsa, and a special online guest, Masaki Hashida-san, the associate professor of the Kyoto University

The workshop covered a wide range of topics from “Modeling of double-pulse irradiation of Au films in experimental conditions” to “Low energy droplet formation through double pulse laser induced forward transfer”.

Agenda

  • Nathan Goodfriend | Low energy droplet formation through double pulse laser induced forward transfer
